Description

Thermoguard Thermoproof Exterior Fluid

Thermoguard Thermoproof Exterior Fluid is a penetrating fire proof fluid for wood.

Please Note: Timber must be a minimum of 12mm thick for the treatment to be effective.

Intended Use

Fire protection for bare timber sleepers, fencing, cladding and decking.

Description

Durable clear fire and flame resistant fluid for external and internal wood. Weather resistant. Water-based, non flammable formula enables safe application by untrained and inexperienced users.

How it Works

Penetrates deep into porous wood. When exposed to fire Thermoguard Thermoproof Exterior Fluid creates an inert layer within the wood’s surface which insulates the wood from fire, preventing flamespread.

UKAS Fire Test Standards

  • BS EN Class B s2 dO
  • Class O

For 30 or 60 mins contact Technical Dept.

Application

  • Apply at 3.5m² per litre. Normally applied in 3 coats @ 10.5m² per litre but can be applied in 2 coats at 7m² per litre on very porous rough sawn wood.
  • Ensure each application has fully soaked in before applying the next. Allow a minimum of 2 hours between applications.
  • Apply to small test patch prior to main application.

Coverage

19m² per 5L

Application Method

Brush, Roller, Spray.

Application Conditions

  • Apply to dry wood (below 18% moisture) above 5°C in dry conditions prior to painting or waterproofing. Where possible wait until the wood has thoroughly dried out before fixing.
  • Allow adequate time for the wood to dry out after treatment before applying any coating.*

*Contact the Technical Department.

Limitations (Stained, Varnished or Painted Wood)

  • Please Note: Timber must be a minimum of 12mm thick for the treatment to be effective.
  • For treatment with Thermoguard Thermoproof Exterior Fluid to be effective it needs to be able to penetrate the wood.
  • Remove any water resistant coating, sealer coat, waxy feel, glossy sheen, or waterproofing effect created by a previous treatment or preparation before application.

Project Fire Certification

Thermoguard issue a Certificate of Supply on request for projects for insurance, Fire and Building Control Authority and Client Records.

New Fire Regulations & Tests Explained

  • The new fire standard BS EN test lasts 20 mins. with airflow replaces the old BS 476 tests which lasted 10 mins and strangely restricted airflow.
  • The new standard for flamespread and heat release Class B replaces Class O.

The new BS EN tests also monitor -

  • Smoke & Gas “s” – s1 + s2 are none or very low & compliant, s3 = moderate smoke, s4 = heavy smoke.
  • Flaming Droplets or Airborne particulates – dO is none, d1 = low, d2 = moderate, d3 = high levels.

Question: 

Hello! I am looking at fireproof coatings and in order to satisfy my building inspector, I need a certificate to show one of your coatings/impregnators have a certificate for having been tested on oak. These are the two products I'm looking at: https://www.rawlinspaints.com/home/fire-retardant-paints/timber-plasterboard/128-zeroflame-fire-retardant-treatment.html https://www.rawlinspaints.com/home/fire-retardant-paints/fabric-treatments/2298-thermoguard-thermoproof-exterior-fluid.html?search_query=thermoguard+exterior+fluid&results=1 Can you please confirm if there is a test certificate on oak available for either of these products please? The Zeroflame text specifically mentions it has been tested on oak as well as other timbers. Is it possible to get hold of a copy of that certificate please? Many thanks in advance. Adam Lay

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

Copies of the testing on oak have now been emailed to you.

No, if a woodstain finish is required then Thermoguard recommend the use of Sikkens Cetol WF 771 over their Thermoproof Exterior Fluid. Wait until Thermoproof Exterior has fully dried before application.
